Here’s a spiral staircase for those of you who do stately homes or castles.
You might like to make a mirror image pair of them for a mansion.

Wow it looks great! The only problem with such extravagant designs is that
they’re so parts intensive (look at all those 1x2 plates!)... I’ve always
wanted to do a double set of these staircases!
Judging from other people’s responses, it appears that most of them have
figured out how you actually managed to “build” the spiral part with the
tiles. But am I the only one who can’t figure it out (how you attached the
tiles to the plates, cuz it only looks like there’s room for 1-plate
thickness)?

One can never have enough 1x2 plates :-)
The tiles are supported on the outside edge, behind the part that sticks out on
the curve. Then they’re pushed into the plates on the inside corner so that
they stack at one end. They’re not actually fixed in the middle! The plates at
the bottom of the part that sticks out are 2x2 corners.
I’d like TLC to make some 1-wide plates with a stud at one end and the rest
smooth, or perhaps with a stud at the other end. Then I could do the staircase
without the sticking-out bit and make a round tower.
